Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, advised Iranians on Sunday “not to worry” for the nation following reports from state media that President Ebrahim Raisi was involved in a helicopter mishap.
“The Iranian people should not worry, there will be no disruption in the country’s work,” Khamenei said in a speech carried on state TV. “We hope that Almighty Allah will bring our dear president and his companions back in full health into the arms of the nation.”
